Slickgrid - One-click checkboxes?

Question

When I create a checkbox column (through use of formatters/editors) in Slickgrid, I\'ve noticed that it takes two clicks to interact with it (one to focus the cell, and one to i

Answer 1

I managed to get a single click editor working rather hackishly with DataView by calling

setTimeout(function(){ $("theCheckBox").click(); },0);

in my CheckBoxCellEditor function, and calling Slick.GlobalEditorLock.commitCurrentEdit(); when the CheckBoxCellEditor created checkbox is clicked (by that setTimeout).

The problem is that the CheckBoxCellFormatter checkbox is clicked, then that event spawns the CheckBoxCellEditor code, which replaces the checkbox with a new one. If you simply call jquery's .click() on that selector, you'll fire the CheckBoxCellEditor event again due because slickgrid hasn't unbound the handler that got you there in the first place. The setTimeout fires the click after that handler is removed (I was worried about timing issues, but I was unable to produce any in any browser).

Sorry I couldn't provide any example code, the code I have is to implementation specific to be useful as a general solution.
